Anyone around to just chatter

I'm feeling off.

It's Sunday, my kids are at their dad's. My friends are all busy. I'm sitting at home and just feel lonely. There's a millions things I could be doing but I don't want to.
I'm lonely. My flat is silent. But I don't want to go out. I rarely get to be at home and just be but today I'm struggling with it.

I have this huge crush on a co-worker. He admitted he likes me too. But doesn't want to go there because of work. We recently arranged drinks as friends but he bailed and now I feel awkward.

I'm just having a low Sunday, things are playing on my mind. I just want some chatter and interaction, comfort I guess that I'm not a loser.
I actually feel like going to sleep but if I do I won't sleep tonight and that knocks on the whole week at work.

My son starts Reception tomorrow and I'm just feeling a bit pants.
Anyone else having a crappy Sunday?

Hi , I am alone at home too but I always am so I am kinda use to it.
I have been cooking all day so I'm now sat outside listening to music and mn scrolling.
I would steer clear of work relationships it can be very uncomfortable when it goes wrong.
Can you go for a stroll in a park , I often find a bit of fresh air makes me feel better.

I am on my own today too and feeling a bit low. Had a bit of Mumsnet argy bargy this morning...made me worse.
Done some gardening and going to see a film later.
Is there something on catch up you would really like to watch or listen to ?

BadgerBadgerMushroom · 08/09/2019 17:28

Have a nice bath? Watch a good film? It's hard to unwind sometimes so feel your pain

Millipedewithherfeetup · 08/09/2019 17:29

I would stick on some happy music and just dance till your out of breath..will make you feel so much better !

CupoTeap · 08/09/2019 17:32

I would be eating and watching crap.

I'm alone too with 2 kids. DH away for weekend & no one has even asked if I want to do anytime although I could have asked them. In the opposite position I would ask friends round. Hey ho, back to work tomorrow.

Crappy sunday here to op. To add to it Im having a mug shot for dinner i mean how much more pathetic can you get on a sunday!
Dont feel awkward about co worker go into work shining like the boss assed lady you are! You know they like you so you know there noticing your movements feel empowered.
Aw exciting about little one starting reception tomorrow though big step xx

I always felt weird when my children went to their dad’s at the weekends. (They’re teenagers now and no longer visit him).

I’m having a quiet day myself so have been cooking this afternoon - including Jack Monroe’s quick soda bread and stewing fruit I’ve picked on a walk. Could you go out and pick blackberries or similar?

Just waiting for Pointless now!

HI,
You don't sound like a loser, if that's any consolation. You're a mum, you have a job. You're just a bit down today. Could you think of this mood as a sign you need to shake some things up? Can you make a cup of tea and get a notebook and write down some things you'd like to do in the next 12 months. Maybe make a list of fun stuff to do with DC, fun stuff to do with friends and some things to do just for you - books you want to read, beauty treatments to try, courses online you might want to study etc , home improvements you fancy making so next time you are alone you have a list to refer to of things you could do that will make you feel good.

Hope your little one enjoys their first day at school tomorrow. End of an era. No wonder you feel a bit emotional.

AnneKipanki · 08/09/2019 17:41

I have been listening to a cd too.

The bath sounds like a good idea...a chance to relax in it without any interruption ...nice.

What do you like yourself ?

AnneKipanki · 08/09/2019 17:43

Forget about the guy but take it as positive that he is interested in you . That is good isn't it . Workplace things can be very awkward.
Other people will be interested too.
